A 40-minute, intimate, immersive theater experience for ten audience members curated and crafted by the "Immersive Theater" Winter Session class and Visiting Instructor Tom Pearson, co-artistic director of Third Rail Projects.

Walk among the watchers, those who no longer fear the dark, those who see “you” and your shadow.

Please register early if you would like to attend by adding your name and cell phone number in an available slot on the Google document form. We understand that things come up and plans change. If you can no longer make the show, please let us know or remove your name to free up the spot for someone else. Cancellations are strongly discouraged as it impacts others, so if you must cancel, please do so with at least 24 hours notice.


Note that you will be separated from your group, and the show is not recommended for audience members who are not comfortable standing, walking, climbing stairs, or being alone. Because of the immersive nature of this piece, audiences will be standing for several minutes at a time over the course of the performance, and will also be required to navigate several flights of stairs. Audiences are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes. Environments include water and chalk that can potentially stain clothing or shoes. Wesleyan does not take responsibility for guests' personal items and advises you to keep this in mind when dressing for the show. There will be a mandatory coat and bag check. Your items will be overseen at all times by a house manager, though Wesleyan cannot take responsibility for them. Please plan accordingly. No food or beverage is allowed during the show.


Doors will open 20 minutes before the experience and there is absolutely no late entry. Please be sure to arrive early to give ample time to check-in and secure your personal items.
